Caloundra's unique heritage of Fibro
beach houses, built when the town boomed after WW2, provide
inspiration for some of their work. Roger is a heritage advovate and hopes that this character can be
conserved for future generations. Shown is Seasongs35 McIlwraith St

First
floor addition to a 1983 steel framed Logan home. To maintain
continuity with the place, the original was “lightly touched” by a new
first floor. Full advantage was taken of the northerly exposure towards
the lake, with midday sun admitted during winter but excluded in summer
due to fine tuned eaves overhang & sunshading.

Roger is an advocate for sustainable design and planning. He believes that climatically responsive individual buildings within a neighbourhood planning approach are the way forward. Placemaking, including heritage conservation is also vital in maintaining healthy communities.

The amenities building at the Ballinger Beach
Reserve draws on the imagery of the Caloundra Coastline. The
eroded Landsborough
Greysandstone
and ruins of World War II fortifications are echoed
in the textured
concrete finish. It is nestled behind the frontal dune, with the
light weight roof responding to the line of wind carved
vegetation, and alluding to the monopitch Fibro roofs of the old
beach houses still common in the area.
